About
A selection of films by neurodivergent filmmakers, exploring the absurd and the unreal. These films step away from the familiar, into the ordinary turned strange, into worlds shaped by fever and folklore. Through unusual humor, unease, and moments of revelation, these are stories told by people who know what it is to stand apart.
